I am writing to
let you know that XO/Verizon is now part of the Amazon Web Services® AWS
Partner Network.  You can now get the performance, visibility and security
you need to power your high-speed, dedicated access to AWS at all Direct
Connect locations in North America.  You can avoid potential issues of
connecting to AWS through the public Internet where you have no control over
performance and are exposed to an ever-increasing array of cyber security
risks.  <span></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span  
style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(68,114,196)">Let  
me explain why we’ve recently become so popular
with this service.   As you probably are aware, most cloud providers
charge only for what egresses from their cloud, based upon your company  
need,
which can obviously be a major cost savings.  By accessing the cloud  
(whether
public, private or hybrid) you avoid paying for in-house IT personnel,
maintenance contracts, upgrades, purchasing of software, etc.   Cloud
Service Providers typically charge anywhere between $.09 and $.12 cents a
Gig for your downloaded data.   <span></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span  
style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(68,114,196)"><span> </span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span  
style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(68,114,196)">Due  
to the size of XO/Verizon’s network and our
capability to connect securely through a dedicated connection – AWS allows
us to connect to their <u>Network to Network interface</u> (or NNI).  This
means instead of $.09 to $.12 cents a Gig per download, the price goes
down to $.02 to $.03 a Gig.    The savings adds up very quickly
and before you know it, the service pays for itself.    Please
ask for us to send you a cost comparison sheet comparing AWS Direct Connect  
to
the plain old Internet.  <span></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span

<p class="MsoNormal"><span  
style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(68,114,196)">So,  
whether you’re looking for better performance
and security for your cloud-based applications, or to more assuredly  
transfer
large data files in support of your business continuity and disaster  
recovery
plans.  XO/Verizon can easily support your AWS Direct Connect needs.
